1 From the Little Acorn The fruit of the oak tree is called an acorn. Inside the acorn is a seed. Acorns fall from the tree in autumn. Only a few will grow into a new tree. A Shoot Appears First, the roots grow down into the soil. The roots take up water and help the new tree to stand firm. Then, a shoot begins to grow above the ground. The shoot grows small green leaves. A Young Sapling The shoot grows very slowly. It turns into a young tree called a sapling. The rain, sun and soil help it to grow. The Mighty Oak It takes many years for the sapling to become an adult tree. After 20 years, the oak tree grows its own acorns. The acorns then fall to the ground. The life cycle starts again!

4 Oak trees are the most common type of tree found in the United Kingdom. But how do they grow? Let s take a look at the life cycle of an oak tree. From the Little Acorn The fruit of the oak tree is called an acorn. Inside each acorn is one seed that could grow into a tree. Acorns fall from the oak tree during autumn. Most acorns will not grow into an oak tree because they get eaten by animals. Only a few acorns will grow into a new tree. A Shoot Appears When a seed starts to grow, it starts by sending roots down into the ground. The roots take up water and help the new tree to stand firm. Next, a tiny stem with small green leaves starts to grow above the ground. This is called a shoot. A Young Sapling The shoot begins to grow taller as it gets warmth from the sun and water through its roots. The shoot slowly grows into a young tree called a sapling. The Mighty Oak It takes many years for the oak tree to reach its full size. After 20 years, the oak tree grows its own acorns. The acorns then fall to the ground. For some lucky acorns, the life cycle starts all over again! Page 1 of 2

7 Oak trees are the most common type of tree found in the United Kingdom. There are different species of oak, but the English oak is the most well-known in the UK. Every mighty oak starts out as a tiny seed. Let s take a look at the life cycle of an oak tree. From the Little Acorn The fruit of the oak tree is called an acorn. Inside each acorn is one seed that could potentially grow into a tree. Some oak trees can produce around 2000 acorns each year! Acorns fall from the oak tree during autumn. Many acorns are eaten by animals and most do not grow into trees. However, some acorn seeds will germinate (begin to grow) in the spring and a new tree starts to form. A Shoot Appears Once a seed starts to grow, it sends roots down into the ground. The roots take up water, as well as helping the new tree to stand firm. The first part of the tree to appear above the ground is a tiny shoot with a thin stem and small green leaves. Page 1 of 3
8 A Young Sapling The shoot beings to grow taller. The green leaves get warmth and energy from the sun and the roots provide the tree with water and nutrients from the soil. The shoot will continue to grow slowly into a young tree called a sapling. Some of these saplings will continue into adulthood. The Mighty Oak It takes many years for the oak to grow and become a full-sized adult tree. After 20 years, the oak tree will begin to produce its own acorns. The acorns will then fall to the ground. For some lucky acorns, the life cycle starts all over again! Did you know? A full-sized oak tree can grow up to 45 metres high. An oak tree can live for hundreds of years. Page 2 of 3

Complete this sentence: The roots take up water and help the new tree to. 4. How long does it take before an oak tree starts to produce its own acorns? Tick one. 10 years 1 month 20 years 5.
